Solution Summary

Reversable enzyme inhibitors are described.

Solution Preview

a) Reversable enzyme inhibitors

MAOIs act by inhibiting the activity of monoamine oxidase preventing the breakdown of monoamine neurotransmitters and so increasing the available stores. There are two isoforms, MAO-A and MAO-B. MAO-A preferentially ...

  • Temperature Affects on Enzymes Actions

    These inhibitors can bind the the enzyme in the same location as the substrate. In this case it directly blocks the enzyme from binding the substrate. Other times enzymes can bind inhibitors in a different location on the enzyme.

  • Allosterically Regulated

    Non-competitive inhibitors do not bind to active sites, although competitive inhibitors do. They bind to another site on the enzyme. Again, you're correct. 4. Non-competitive inhibitors do not change the Km, although competitive inhibitors do.

  • Picking the Best Inhibitor when Given Km, Kcat and Ki

    Non-competitive inhibitors will decrease kcat but have no effect on Km. There are also uncompetitive inhibitors (binding only to the enzyme-substrate complex, not to the free enzyme) which reduce kcat but also reduce Km.

  • Reversible and irreversable enzyme

    This solution explains the conceps of reversible and irreversable enzyme, and how Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors work as an antidepressant based on this action on the enzyme.

  • Hypothetical experimental scenario or data- Enzyme activity

    In addition,the product is not being generated confirming the inactivity of the enzyme. The other compounds (B, C, and D) may be inhibitors for the enzyme because they prevent the catalytic activity of the enzyme.

  • Reversible and irreversible enzymes

    How do Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors work as an antidepressant based on this action on the enzyme. Include the intracellular and extracellular enzymes in your answer Please see response attached, and two supporting document as well.

  • Noncompetitive Inhibition in Enzyme Kinetics

    The following comes from this site: http://www.biologie.uni-hamburg.de/b-online/e18/18e.htm Picture to the left: Reduction of the turn-over ratio of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction by a non-competitive inhibitor.

  • Antimicrobial drugs

    d. protease inhibitors: Protease inhibitors prevent viral replication by selectively binding to viral proteases and blocking proteolytic cleavage of protein precursors that are necessary for the production of infectious viral particles.

  • Comparison of competitive and noncompetitive inhibition
